Of the Ions liiH- of Dominion seedlings |)ut out 

 by ^Ir. Bliss, he considers this his crowning achieve- 

 ment. It combines the rich colorings of Bruno and 

 Cardinal into a flower of greater size on a taller 

 stem, widely branched, and pi'oduces its enormous 

 blossoms in great profusion. Heretofore the price 

 of this has been almost prohibitive for widespread 

 distribution, but our stock has increased so that we 

 are able to offer it at the following unprecedented 

 low price : Each $4.00 ; three for $10.50 ; ten, $30.00 



LOETITIA MiCHAUD 



Gigantic in size, perfect in every detail, tliis iris 

 retains its popularity in spite of numerous compet- 

 itors. Of an even tone of soft lobelia-blue, a little 

 deeper than the blue of the sky, a light yellow beard 

 for contrast. This ofttimes grows shoulder high, and 

 is one of the many irises classed as tender that can 

 be depended upon to thrive in almost any section of 

 the country. Among tlie indispensables. 



Each 85c; three for $2.25; ten, $5.00 



MiDGARD 



Three years ago this Avas hailed as the best pro- 

 duction ever turned out by the Sass Brothers. The 

 yellow-pink blended flowers introduced a new color 

 note, and it became immediately so popular that 

 there has never been sufficient stock to supply the 

 demand. It is one of the most reliable new varieties 



for scvci'e climates, besides being a very free bloomer 

 and I'apid iiiultipliei'. Its future is assured. 



Each $1.50; three for $3.75; ten for $10.00 



Omaha 



A beautiful coral-red self, with orange l)eard, 

 I)roducing a very striking contrast. Blooms arc cxtia 

 large and of lovely rounded foi'iu. The color effect 

 is deep and brilliant pink, rather than I'ed, and the 

 jtetals have a glistening and fragile ai)i)earance, al- 

 thoi;gh on the conti-ary they stand n]i perfectly. A 

 considei'able novelty in cohir, and one of Sass's finest. 

 Ilt'ight alxMit 'M) inches. 



Each $1.00; three for $2.25; ten for $6.00 



San Francisco 



a four-foot plicata that has been awarded the 

 Dykes nii'dal by the American Iris Society. No other 

 plicata approaches it in size and grandeur, heaviness 

 of texture, or wide and low branching habit. It is 

 not an iris for severe climates, but is worth the pro- 

 tection of a box or glass covering during the winter. 

 In warmer sections it grows perfectly and is oiu' of 

 the truly "greats" of the iris world. At the price 

 (|Uoted it is woi'th trying even if yon fail witli it. 



Each $2.00; three for $5.25; ten for $15.00 



Santa Barbara 



Here we have an iris which approaehes perfec- 

 tion in the shape and size of its flowers, and in addi- 

 tion is possibly the finest and clearest lavender-bine 

 so fill' introduced. The exhibition rating of !)1 is well 

 deserved. Having been in commerce sufficiently long 

 to become fairly jjlentiful. it can now be bought at 

 the following surprisingly low |)i'ices: 



Each 50c ; three for 90c ; ten for $2.00 



Sikh 



Although this iris was introduced in Phigland 

 only last summer, we were fortunate enough to se- 

 cure i1 two years ago, and now have a large supply 

 of well-grown plants. The color and form somewhat 

 resemble Bruno, but is both more brilliant and cop- 

 pery. Of largest size, on heavy stems, with broad 

 foliage, it bloomed in the fall in our gardens. 



Each $2.50; three for $6.00; ten, $17.50 



Sir Michael 



Unipiestionably the finest blue and purple bicolor 

 in the world. Standards are clear blue, falls deep 

 rich mahogany, with a beard of red-gold. Regarded 

 as the fiiu'st iris ever to come from England and a 

 sensation wherever shown. In our own wet North- 

 west, in (iiy and sunny California, and in Nebraska, 

 Ohio, and the colder Minnesota and New England, 

 we found it blooming etpially well. A super iris, if 

 ever t here was one. 



Each $4.00; three for $10.50; ten, $30.00 



Surprise 



Monster blue, flushed heliotroiie, on stems up to 

 four feet in height. The intense orange beard is a 

 salient feature. This is our own introduction, and 

 we are proud of the fact that it has been well re- 

 ceived in all sections of the country, A fit companion 

 to such blues as Santa Barbara, Loetitia iMichaiul, 

 and Duchess Sarah. I'old foliage, almost ever'green. 



Each $3.50; three for $9.00; ten, $25.00
